To back up your library in EndNote, there are two options:
Option One
To use the 'Save a Copy' command to create an exact copy of your library. Here are the steps:
- With a library open, choose Save a Copy from the File menu.
- Choose where to save it.
- Click Save.
The new library does not open, it is simply saved to disk.
Option Two
To use the Compressed Library command to save a copy of your library and .data folder together in a compressed file (.enlx) which can be restored later in EndNote.
-
From the File menu, select Compressed Library (.enlx) and then Create.
-
Select the folder or drive where you are saving which will then give you a Compressed EndNote Library (filename.enlx).
- You can also use this option to email a copy of your library to yourself or a colleague.
For more help, you can also follow the instructions written by EndNote.
